With the economy still in flux, U.S. tech companies have a lot of concerns. With that in mind, professional services firm BDO created a list of the top 20 risks and concerns tech companies have in 2010. The information is based on risk factors listed by businesses in various filings with U.S Securities and Exchange Commission. To compile the list, BDO used data from the 100 largest publicly traded technology companies in the United States. These risk factors are short-term issues that could negatively affect business. This eWEEK presentation is a countdown from No. 20 to No. 1, although some rankings were tied as percentages. Does your company or IT department have similar concerns?
